AMENDED AND RESTATED

PURCHASE AGREEMENT

(RTP DATA CENTER)




     This AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AGREEMENT (RTP DATA CENTER) (this “Agreement”), dated as of
November 29, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), is made by and between BNP PARIBAS LEASING CORPORATION
(“BNPPLC”), a Delaware corporation, and NETWORK APPLIANCE, INC. (“NAI”), a Delaware corporation.



RECITALS




     Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, BNPPLC and NAI are executing an
Amended and Restated Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) dated as of the
Effective Date (the “Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement”), which by this reference is
incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement for all purposes. As used in this Agreement,
capitalized terms defined in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement and not otherwise
defined in this Agreement are intended to have the respective meanings assigned to them in the
Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement.



     Contemporaneously with this Agreement, BNPPLC is executing and accepting an Amended and
Restated Ground Lease (RTP Data Center) dated as of the Effective Date (the “Ground Lease”) from
NAI, pursuant to which BNPPLC is acquiring a leasehold estate in the Land described in
Exhibit A and any existing Improvements on the Land.



     Also contemporaneously with this Agreement, BNPPLC and NAI are executing an Amended and
Restated Construction Agreement (RTP Data Center) dated as of the Effective Date (the“Construction
Agreement”) and an Amended and Restated Lease Agreement (RTP Data Center) dated as of the Effective
Date (the “Lease”). Pursuant to the Construction Agreement, BNPPLC is agreeing to provide funding
for the construction of new Improvements. When the term of the Lease commences, the Lease will
cover all Improvements on the Land described in Exhibit A. (As used herein, “Property”
means (i) all of BNPPLC’s interests, including those created by the Ground Lease, in the Land and
in the Improvements and in all other real and personal property from time to time covered or to be
covered by the Lease and included within the “Property” as defined therein, and (ii) BNPPLC’s
interest in any Escrowed Proceeds yet to be applied as a Qualified Prepayment or to the cost of
repairs to the Improvements or other property covered by the Lease; except that, for purposes of
this Agreement, the Property will not include any condemnation or insurance proceeds included in
Escrowed Proceeds as a result of any Pre-lease Force Majeure Event, nor will it include any right
to receive any such condemnation or insurance proceeds in the future, unless NAI itself or one of
its Affiliates purchases the Property from BNPPLC as provided in subparagraphs 2(A)(1), 3(A) or
3(B) below.)


     NAI and
BNPPLC have agreed on the terms and conditions upon which NAI may


 









 





purchase or arrange for the purchase of the Property, and by this Agreement they desire to confirm all such
terms and conditions.



AGREEMENTS



1 Additional Definitions. As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms defined above have
the respective meanings assigned to them above; as indicated above, capitalized terms that are
defined in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement and that are used but not otherwise
defined have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Common Definitions and Provisions
Agreement; and, the following terms have the following respective meanings:




     “97-1/Default (100%)” means a Default that is or results from any of the following:




     (A) a failure of NAI to make any payment required by any Operative Document, including
(i) any 97-10/Prepayment payable as provided in Paragraph 9 of the Construction
Agreement, (ii) any other amounts payable under the Construction Agreement because of
Covered Construction Period Losses, (iii) any payment of Rent required by the Lease or (iv)
any Supplemental Payment required by this Agreement;




     (B) any Hazardous Substance Activities on or about the Land;




     (C) any failure of NAI after the Completion Date to insure, maintain, operate or repair
the Property in accordance with all terms and conditions of the Lease;




     (D) any failure of NAI to apply insurance or condemnation proceeds received by NAI as
required by the Construction Agreement or the Lease, as applicable;




     (E) any breach by NAI of the Ground Lease;




     (F) any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving NAI or any of its Subsidiaries,
as the debtor, or any of the events or circumstances described in clauses (G), (H) or (I) of
the definition of Event of Default in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement;




     (G) any breach by NAI of the financial covenants in subparagraph 3(C) of the Closing
Certificate that occurs or continues after the Completion Date;




     (H) a failure of NAI or any of its Subsidiaries, which occurs or continues after
the Completion Date, to pay when due a regularly scheduled payment of the principal of or
premium or interest on any of its Indebtedness which is outstanding in a principal amount of
at least $25,000,000, as described in clause (F) of the definition of Event of Default in



Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 2




 









 






the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement;




     (I) a failure of NAI or any of its Subsidiaries, which occurs or continues after the
Completion Date, to pay any judgment or order for the payment of money rendered against it
in an amount (not covered by insurance) which exceeds $25,000,000, as described in clause
(J) of the definition of Event of Default in the Common Definitions and Provisions
Agreement;




     (J) any fraud, misapplication of Construction Advances or other funds, illegal acts or
willful misconduct on the part of NAI or its employees or of any other party acting under
NAI’s control or with the approval or authorization of NAI (including any contractor working
for NAI) that occurs prior to the Completion Date; or




     (K) subject to the proviso at the end of Exhibit B, any breach by NAI of the
provisions set forth in Exhibit B.




Except as provided in subparagraph 3(B), the characterization of any Default as a
97-1/Default (100%) will not affect the rights or remedies available to BNPPLC because of
the Default.




“Adjusted Lease Balance” means a dollar amount equal to the following (but not less than
zero):




	 	·	 	the Lease Balance, less
	 
	 	·	 	Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses (if any).






“Applicable Purchaser” means (1) the third party designated by NAI to purchase the Property
at any sale arranged by NAI as provided in this Agreement, or (2) the third party designated
by BNPPLC as the purchaser at any Qualified Sale not arranged by NAI.




“Balance of Unpaid Construction Period Losses” means, subject to the qualifications set
forth below in this definition, an amount equal to the sum of:




	 	(1)	 	the total Losses (if any), including Contingent Losses, that have been incurred
or suffered by BNPPLC or other Interested Parties at any time and from time to time
prior to the Completion Date (or, if no Completion Date occurs prior to the
Designated Sale Date, then prior to the Designated Sale Date) by reason of, in
connection with or arising out of (A) their ownership or alleged ownership of any
interest in the Property or the payments required by the Operative Documents, (B)
the use or operation of the Property, (C) the negotiation, administration or





Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 3









 









 












	 	 	 	enforcement of the Operative Documents, (D) the making of Funding Advances, (E) the
Construction Project, (F) the breach by NAI of this Agreement or any other Operative
Document or any other document executed by NAI in connection herewith, (G) any
failure of the Property or NAI itself to comply with Applicable Laws, (H) Permitted
Encumbrances, (I) Hazardous Substance Activities, including those occurring prior to
Effective Date, (J) any obligations of BNPPLC under the Ground Lease or the Closing
Certificate, or (K) any bodily or personal injury or death or property damage
occurring in or upon or in the vicinity of the Property through any cause
whatsoever; plus
	 
	 	(2)	 	interest accruing at the Default Rate, compounded annually, on each payment of
any such Losses by BNPPLC or any other Interested Party from the date such payment was
made to the Designated Sale Date.






For purposes of computing the Balance of Unpaid Construction Period Losses, Losses as
described in clause (1) of this definition will include each reduction (if any) (i) in the
Carrying Costs added to the Outstanding Construction Allowance as provided in the
Construction Agreement, or (ii) in the Base Rent payable to BNPPLC as provided in the Lease,
that results from Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses. In other words, the Losses described in
clause (1) will include the additional (if any) Carrying Costs and Base Rent that would have
accrued if Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses were set at zero dollars ($0.00) in the formulas
set forth in the Construction Agreement and in the Lease for calculating Carrying Costs and
Base Rent, respectively.




Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, none of the following will be included in the
Balance of Unpaid Construction Period Losses: (i) amounts included in or paid by BNPPLC with
the proceeds of the Initial Advance (including Transaction Expenses); (ii) Losses paid or
reimbursed from Construction Advances (including Local Impositions, insurance premiums and
amounts paid by NAI prior to the Completion Date and reimbursed to it through Construction
Advances made pursuant to the Construction Agreement, and also including costs and
expenditures incurred or paid by or on behalf of BNPPLC after any Owner’s Election to
Continue Construction, to the extent that such costs and expenditures are considered to be
Construction Advances as provided in the Construction Agreement); (iii) any other Losses
which NAI has paid prior to the Designated Sale Date or for which NAI remains fully
obligated to pay pursuant to the other Operative Documents (including Covered Construction
Period Losses paid or payable by NAI pursuant to the Construction Agreement); and (iv) any decline in the value of
the Property, including any such decline that is attributable solely to a Pre-lease Force
Majeure Event and thus constitutes a Pre-lease Force Majeure Loss.




“BNPPLC’s Actual Out of Pocket Costs” means the out-of-pocket costs and expenses,



Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 4




 









 






if any, incurred by BNPPLC in connection with a sale of the Property under this Agreement or in
connection with the collection of payments due to it under this Agreement (including any
Breakage Costs; Attorneys’ Fees; appraisal costs; and income, transfer, withholding or other
taxes which do not constitute Excluded Taxes; but not including Excluded Taxes or costs of
removing any Lien Removable by BNPPLC).




“Break Even Price” means an amount equal to:




	 	·	 	the Lease Balance, plus
	 
	 	·	 	BNPPLC’s Actual Out of Pocket Costs, and plus
	 
	 	·	 	an amount equal to the Balance of Unpaid Construction Period Losses (if any).






If, however, the Balance of Unpaid Construction Period Losses includes Contingent Losses,
then for purposes of computing the Break Even Price applicable to any proposed sale on the
Designated Sale Date, NAI may elect to exclude such Contingent Losses from the Break Even
Price by providing to BNPPLC, for the benefit of BNPPLC and other Interested Parties, a
written agreement to indemnify and defend BNPPLC and other Interested Parties against the
excluded Losses. However, to be effective for purposes of reducing the Break Even Price,
any such written indemnity must be fully executed and delivered by NAI on or prior to the
Designated Sale Date, must include provisions comparable to subparagraphs 5(C)(1), (2),
(3), (4) and (5) of the Lease and otherwise must be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to BNPPLC.




“Committed Price” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 3(C)(4).




“Conditions to NAI’s Initial Remarketing Rights” has the meaning indicated in
subparagraph 2(A)(2)(a).




“Contingent Losses” means any Losses that consist of claims asserted against BNPPLC or
another Interested Party prior to the Designated Sale Date, but that are not liquidated or
paid on or prior to the Designated Sale Date. Any Contingent Losses included in the Unpaid
Balance of Construction Period Losses, and thus which are relevant to the computation of the
Break Even Price, will equal the sum as reasonably estimated by
BNPPLC of (i) all Attorneys’ Fees and other costs that will be incurred to defend against
such claims, and (ii) the amount for which BNPPLC or the other Interested Party can settle
or satisfy such claims.




“Decision Not to Sell at a Loss” means a decision by BNPPLC not to sell the Property
on the Designated Sale Date to an Applicable Purchaser as provided in



Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 5




 









 






subparagraph 2(A)(2),
despite NAI’s satisfaction of the Conditions to NAI’s Initial Remarketing Rights.




“Deemed Sale” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 3(D).




“Extended Remarketing Period” means a period beginning on the Designated Sale Date and
ending on the Final Sale Date.




“Fair Market Value” has the meaning indicated in Exhibit B.




“Final Sale Date” means the earliest of:




	 	·	 	any date after the Designated Sale Date upon which BNPPLC conveys the Property
to consummate a sale of the Property to NAI because of BNPPLC’s exercise of the Put
Option as provided in subparagraph 3(B); or
	 
	 	·	 	any date after the Designated Sale Date upon which BNPPLC conveys the Property
to consummate a sale of the Property to NAI or to any Affiliate of NAI, including any
such sale resulting from NAI’s exercise of its rights under subparagraph 3(A); or
	 
	 	·	 	any date after the Designated Sale Date upon which BNPPLC conveys the Property
to consummate a Qualified Sale, or would have done so but for a material breach of this
Agreement by NAI (including any breach of its obligation to make any Supplemental
Payment required in connection with such Qualified Sale); or
	 
	 	·	 	the second anniversary of the Designated Sale Date, which will be the date of a
Deemed Sale as provided in subparagraph 3(D) if no earlier date qualifies as the Final
Sale Date and the entire Property is not sold by BNPPLC to NAI or an Applicable
Purchaser prior to the second anniversary of the Designated Sale Date.






“Initial Remarketing Notice” means a notice delivered to BNPPLC by NAI prior to the
Designated Sale Date in which NAI confirms NAI’s decision to exercise NAI’s Initial
Remarketing Rights and the amount of the Initial Remarketing Price. (Once given, any such
notice may not be rescinded or modified without BNPPLC’s consent.)




“Initial Remarketing Price” means the cash price set forth in an Initial Remarketing
Notice delivered by NAI to BNPPLC as the price for which NAI has arranged a sale of the
Property on the Designated Sale Date to an Applicable Purchaser which is not an Affiliate of
NAI. Such price may be any price negotiated by the Applicable Purchaser in



Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 6




 









 






good faith and
on an arms length basis with NAI.




“Lease Balance” means the Lease Balance (as defined in the Common Definitions and Provisions
Agreement) on the Designated Sale Date, but computed without deduction for any Supplemental
Payment or other amount paid to BNPPLC pursuant to this Agreement on the Designated Sale
Date.




“Make Whole Amount” means the sum of the following:




          (1) the amount (if any) by which the Lease Balance on the Designated Sale Date exceeds
the following, as applicable: (a) all 97-10/Prepayments (if any) which were actually paid
to BNPPLC on or before the Designated Sale Date, or (b) any Supplemental Payment which was
actually paid to BNPPLC on the Designated Sale Date; together with interest on such excess
computed at the Default Rate for the period commencing on the Designated Sale Date and
ending on the Final Sale Date; plus




          (2) any unpaid Base Rent or other amounts due to BNPPLC pursuant to the other Operative
Documents; plus




          (3) BNPPLC’s Actual Out of Pocket Costs; plus




          (4) an amount equal to the Balance of Unpaid Construction Period Losses (if any),
together with interest on thereon computed at the Default Rate for the period commencing on
the Designated Sale Date and ending on the Final Sale Date; plus




          (5) the amount, but not less than zero, by which (i) all Local Impositions, insurance
premiums and other Losses of every kind suffered or incurred by BNPPLC (whether or not
reimbursed in whole or in part by another Interested Party) with respect to the ownership,
operation or maintenance of the Property during the Extended Remarketing Period, exceeds
(ii) any rents or other sums collected by BNPPLC during such period from third parties as
consideration for any lease or other contracts made by BNPPLC that authorize the use and
enjoyment of the Property by such parties; together with interest on such excess computed at
the Default Rate for each day prior to the Final
Sale Date.




“Maximum Remarketing Obligation” means a dollar amount equal to the following (but not less
than zero):




	 	·	 	85% of the Adjusted Lease Balance; less
	 
	 	·	 	any Fixed Rate Settlement Amount that NAI is required to pay pursuant to the





Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 7









 









 












Lease because of any acceleration of the Designated Sale Date which causes it to occur prior
to the date upon which the Term of the Lease is scheduled to expire (as such date is
confirmed in clause (1) of the definition of Designated Sale Date in the Common
Definitions and Provisions Agreement).




“Must Sell Price” means, with respect to any Proposed Sale arranged by NAI pursuant to
subparagraph 3(C), a cash price to BNPPLC equal to the Make Whole Amount, computed as of the
Proposed Sale Date applicable to such Proposed Sale, plus all reimbursements or payments by
BNPPLC to NAI that will be required by clause (4) of subparagraph 3(E) in connection with
the Proposed Sale.




“NAI’s Extended Remarketing Right” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 3(C).




“NAI’s Initial Remarketing Rights” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 2(A)(2).




“NAI’s Target Price” means the cash purchase price that, according to NAI, should reasonably
be expected for the Property during the Extended Remarketing Period if the parties make a
reasonable marketing effort to sell the Property, as such price is set forth in a notice
given by NAI to BNPPLC after the Designated Sale Date. Once established by any such notice,
the amount of NAI’s Target Price will not be increased, although nothing in this definition
will be construed to prevent NAI from arranging a sale of the Property pursuant to this
Agreement at a price higher than NAI’s Target Price. After providing a notice of NAI’s
Target Price to BNPPLC, NAI may later decrease NAI’s Target Price by another notice to
BNPPLC, but only if the decrease is justified by a material adverse change in the physical
condition of the Property (e.g., significant damage to the Property by fire or other
casualty).




“Notice of Sale” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 3(C)(4).




“Proposed Sale” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 3(C).




“Proposed Sale Date” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 3(C)(4).




“Purchase Option” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 2(A)(1).




“Put Option” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 3(B).




“Qualified Sale” means any (1) Deemed Sale as described in subparagraph 3(D), or (2) actual
sale (prior to any such Deemed Sale) of all or substantially all of the Property to an
Applicable Purchaser that occurs after the thirty day period specified in subparagraph 3(A)
and that:



Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 8




 









 






	·	 	results from NAI’s exercise of NAI’s Extended Remarketing Right as described in
subparagraph 3(C); or

	·	 	is approved in advance as a Qualified Sale by NAI; or

	·	 	is to a third party which is not an Affiliate of BNPPLC and, if it is completed
by a conveyance from BNPPLC prior to eighteen months after the Designated Sale Date, is
for a price not less than the least of the following amounts:






	 	(a)	 	the lowest price at which BNPPLC will be obligated, pursuant to
clause (4) of subparagraph 3(E), to reimburse to NAI (i) the entire amount of
any Supplemental Payment theretofore made by NAI to BNPPLC, or (ii) if no such
Supplemental Payment has been made, but NAI has theretofore made one or more
97-1/Prepayments to BNPPLC, all such 97-10/Prepayments; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	(i) if NAI notified BNPPLC of NAI’s Target Price prior to the
date BNPPLC and the third party agreed to a price for the sale, NAI’s Target
Price, or (ii) if NAI did not notify BNPPLC of NAI’s Target Price prior to the
date BNPPLC and the third party agreed to a price for the sale, any price
satisfactory to BNPPLC in its sole good faith business judgment; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	90% of the Fair Market Value of the Property.






NAI acknowledges that BNPPLC’s own marketing efforts after the Designated Sale Date will
depend upon the minimum price required for a Qualified Sale, and such efforts could be
hampered if NAI’s Target Price is too high. Thus, after receipt of any notice of NAI’s
Target Price from NAI, BNPPLC may (but will not be obligated to) invoke the Valuation
Procedures in order to determine the minimum price permitted under clause (c) preceding.



     “Sale Closing Documents” means the following documents, which BNPPLC must tender pursuant to
Paragraph 5(A) to consummate any sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement: (1)
documents in the forms required by Exhibit C, including either a termination of or
an assignment of the Ground Lease and other rights and interests of BNPPLC in the Property,
(2) a Secretary’s Certificate in the form attached as Exhibit D and (3) a
certificate concerning tax withholding in the form attached as Exhibit E.

subparagraph 2(A)(3).




“Valuation Procedures” means procedures set forth in Exhibit B, which are to be
followed in the event a determination of the Fair Market Value of the Property or any
portion thereof is required by this Agreement.


2 NAI’s Options and Obligations on the Designated Sale Date.




     (A) Purchase Option; Initial Remarketing Rights; Supplemental Payment Obligation.
Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but subject to Paragraph 6
below:




     (1) NAI will have the right (the “Purchase Option”) to purchase or cause an Affiliate
of NAI, as the Applicable Purchaser, to purchase the Property on the Designated Sale Date
for a cash price equal to the Break Even Price.




     (2) If NAI does not exercise the Purchase Option, NAI will have the following rights
(collectively, “NAI’s Initial Remarketing Rights”):




          (a) First, NAI will have the right to designate a third party, other than an
Affiliate of NAI, as the Applicable Purchaser and to cause such Applicable Purchaser
to purchase the Property on the Designated Sale Date for a cash price equal to the
Initial Remarketing Price. Such right, however, will be subject to the conditions
(the “Conditions to NAI’s Initial Remarketing Rights”) that (i) NAI deliver an
Initial Remarketing Notice to BNPPLC within the thirty days prior to the Designated
Sale Date, (ii) on the Designated Sale Date the Applicable Purchaser tenders to
BNPPLC a payment equal to the Initial Remarketing Price, and (iii) NAI itself
tenders to BNPPLC the Supplemental Payment, if any, which will be required by
subparagraph 2(A)(3) in the event BNPPLC completes the sale to the Applicable
Purchaser. Further, notwithstanding the satisfaction of the
Conditions to NAI’s Initial Remarketing Rights on the Designated Sale Date, if
the sum of the price to be paid by the Applicable Purchaser for the Property (i.e.,
the Initial Remarketing Price) and any Supplemental Payment required by
subparagraph 2(A)(3) is less than the Break Even Price, then BNPPLC may
affirmatively elect not to complete the sale of the Property to the Applicable
Purchaser on the Designated Sale Date (and thereby defer the sale of the Property
pursuant to this Agreement) by making a Decision Not to Sell at a Loss.




          (b) Second, if BNPPLC completes a sale of the Property to an Applicable
Purchaser on the Designated Sale Date pursuant to subparagraph 2(A)(2)(a) and the
price paid by the Applicable Purchaser for the



Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 10




 









 






Property (i.e., the Initial
Remarketing Price) is greater than the Break Even Price, then BNPPLC will pay the
excess to NAI or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.




     (3) If for any reason whatsoever BNPPLC does not receive a cash price for the Property
on the Designated Sale Date equal to or in excess of the Break Even Price in connection with
a sale made pursuant to subparagraph 2(A)(1) or subparagraph 2(A)(2)(a), then NAI will have
the obligation (the “Supplemental Payment Obligation”) to pay to BNPPLC on the Designated
Sale Date a supplemental payment (the “Supplemental Payment”) equal to the lesser of:




          (a) the amount by which the Break Even Price exceeds any such cash price
actually received by BNPPLC on the Designated Sale Date; or


          (b) the Maximum Remarketing Obligation.




Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, NAI must (unless excused by
subparagraph 6(B) below) make the Supplemental Payment even if BNPPLC does not sell the
Property to NAI or an Applicable Purchaser on the Designated Sale Date because of (A) a
Decision Not to Sell at a Loss, or (B) a failure of NAI to exercise, or a decision by NAI
not to exercise, the Purchase Option or NAI’s Initial Remarketing Rights, or (C) a failure
of NAI or any Applicable Purchaser to tender the price required by the forgoing provisions
on the Designated Sale Date following any exercise of or attempt by NAI to exercise the
Purchase Option or NAI’s Initial Remarketing Rights.




NAI acknowledges that it is undertaking the Supplemental Payment Obligation in consideration
of the rights afforded to it by this Agreement, but that such obligation is not contingent
upon any exercise by NAI of such rights or upon any purchase of the Property by NAI or an
Applicable Purchaser. If any Supplemental Payment due according to this
subparagraph 2(A)(3) is not actually paid to BNPPLC on the Designated Sale Date, then NAI
must pay interest on the past due amount computed at the Default Rate. However, NAI will be
entitled to a credit against the interest required by the preceding sentence equal to the
Base Rent, if any, actually paid by NAI pursuant to the Lease for any period after the
Designated Sale Date.




     (4) For the avoidance of doubt, BNPPLC acknowledges that NAI may elect not to exercise
the Purchase Option or NAI’s Initial Remarketing Rights and instead pay to BNPPLC a
Supplemental Payment equal to the Maximum Remarketing Obligation on the Designated Sale Date
in full satisfaction of its obligations under this subparagraph 2(A).



Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 11




 









 





     (B) Designation of the Purchaser. To give BNPPLC the opportunity before the
Designated Sale Date to prepare the Sale Closing Documents, NAI must, by a notice to BNPPLC given
at least ten days prior to the Designated Sale Date, specify irrevocably, unequivocally and with
particularity any party who will purchase the Property because of NAI’s exercise of its Purchase
Option or of NAI’s Initial Remarketing Rights. If NAI fails to do so, BNPPLC may postpone the
delivery of the Sale Closing Documents until a date after the Designated Sale Date and not more
than ten days after NAI finally does so specify a party, but such postponement will not relieve or
postpone the obligation of NAI to make a Supplemental Payment on the Designated Sale Date as
provided in subparagraph 2(A)(3).



     (C) Delivery of Property Related Documents If BNPPLC Retains the Property. Unless NAI
or its Affiliate or another Applicable Purchaser purchases the Property pursuant to
subparagraph 2(A), promptly after the Designated Sale Date NAI must deliver and assign to BNPPLC
all plans and specifications for the Property previously prepared for NAI or otherwise available to
NAI (including those prepared in connection with the construction contemplated by the Construction
Agreement), together with all other files, documents and permits of NAI (including any subleases
then in force) which may be necessary or useful to any future owner’s or occupant’s use of the
Property. Without limiting the foregoing, NAI will transfer or arrange the transfer to BNPPLC of
all utility, building, health and other operating permits required by any municipality or other
governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Property for uses of the Property permitted by
the Lease or for any remaining construction required to complete the Improvements contemplated by
the Construction Agreement if neither NAI nor any Affiliate or other Applicable Purchaser purchases
the Property pursuant to subparagraph 2(A).



     (D) Effect of the Purchase Option and NAI’s Initial Remarketing Rights on Subsequent Title
Encumbrances. Any conveyance made to consummate a sale of the Property to NAI or any
Applicable Purchaser pursuant to subparagraph 2(A) will cut off and terminate all interests in the
Property claimed by, through or under BNPPLC, including Liens Removable by
BNPPLC (including any leasehold estate or other interests conveyed by BNPPLC to third parties,
even if conveyed in the ordinary course of BNPPLC’s business, and including any judgment liens
established against the Property because of a judgment rendered against BNPPLC), but not personal
obligations of NAI to BNPPLC under the Lease or other Operative Documents (including obligations of
NAI arising under the indemnities in the Construction Agreement or the Lease, which indemnities
will survive any such sale). Anyone accepting or taking any interest in the Property through or
under BNPPLC on or after the Effective Date will acquire such interest subject to the Purchase
Option.



Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 12




 









 





     (E) Security for NAI’s Purchase Option. If (contrary to the intent of the
parties as expressed in subparagraph 4(C) of the Lease) it is determined that NAI is not,
under applicable state law as applied to the Operative Documents, the equitable owner of the
Property and the borrower from BNPPLC in a financing arrangement, but rather is a tenant under the
Lease with an option to purchase from BNPPLC as provided in subparagraph 2(A)(1), then the parties
intend that the Purchase Option be secured by a lien and security interest against the Property.
Accordingly, BNPPLC does hereby grant to NAI a lien and security interest against the Property,
including all rights, title and interests of BNPPLC from time to time in and to the Land and
Improvements, in order to secure (1) BNPPLC’s obligation to convey the Property to NAI or an
Affiliate designated by it if NAI exercises the Purchase Option and tenders payment of the Break
Even Price to BNPPLC on the Designated Sale Date as provided herein, and (2) NAI’s right to recover
any damages from BNPPLC caused by a breach of such obligation, including any such breach caused by
a rejection or termination of this Agreement in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding instituted
by or against BNPPLC, as debtor. NAI may enforce such lien and security interest judicially after
any such breach by BNPPLC, but not otherwise.


3 NAI’s Rights, Options and Obligations After the Designated Sale Date.




     (A) NAI’s Right to Buy During the Thirty Days After the Designated Sale Date. Even
after a failure to pay any required Supplemental Payment on the Designated Sale Date, NAI may
tender (or cause an Applicable Purchaser to tender) to BNPPLC the full Make Whole Amount (including
all amounts then due under the other Operative Documents) on any Business Day within thirty days
after the Designated Sale Date. If presented with such a tender within thirty days after the
Designated Sale Date, BNPPLC must accept it and promptly thereafter deliver to NAI (or the
Applicable Purchaser) the Sale Closing Documents and any Escrowed Proceeds then constituting
Property held by BNPPLC. Otherwise, BNPPLC will have no further obligation to sell the Property
to NAI or to any Affiliate of NAI pursuant to this Agreement, although BNPPLC will continue to have
the option to require NAI to buy the Property if the conditions listed in the next subparagraph are
satisfied.



     (B) NAI’s Obligation to Buy if Certain Conditions are Satisfied. Regardless of any
prior Decision Not to Sell at a Loss, BNPPLC will have the option (the “Put Option”) to require NAI
to purchase the Property upon demand at any time after the Designated Sale Date for a cash price
equal to the Make Whole Amount if:




     (1) BNPPLC has not already conveyed the Property to consummate a sale of the Property
to NAI or an Applicable Purchaser pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement; and




     (2) a 97-1/Default (100%) occurs or is continuing on or after the Designated



Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 13




 









 






Sale Date; and




     (3) BNPPLC notifies NAI of BNPPLC’s exercise of the Put Option within two years
following the Designated Sale Date.


Further, and without limiting the foregoing, if any Event of Default occurs as described in clauses
(G), (H) or (I) of the definition Event of Default in the Common Definitions and Provisions
Agreement because of any bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against NAI, as debtor, under Title
11 of the United States Code, then NAI will be obligated (without any further act or notice or
demand by BNPPLC) to pay to BNPPLC the Make Whole Amount and purchase the Property, as if (i)
BNPPLC had exercised the Put Option, and (ii) the second Business Day after the commencement of
such Event of Default was the Final Sale Date.




     (C) NAI’s Extended Right to Remarket. If the Property is not sold to NAI or an
Applicable Purchaser on the Designated Sale Date pursuant to this Agreement, NAI will have the
right (“NAI’s Extended Remarketing Right”) during the Extended Remarketing Period to arrange a sale
of the Property to an Applicable Purchaser, other than an Affiliate of NAI, for a price equal to or
in excess of the Must Sell Price (a “Proposed Sale”). NAI’s Extended Remarketing Right will,
however, be subject to all of the following conditions:




     (1) BNPPLC has not exercised the Put Option as provided in subparagraph 3(B) or already
contracted with another Applicable Purchaser to convey the Property in connection with a
Qualified Sale.




     (2) NAI’s Extended Remarketing Right is not terminated pursuant to subparagraph 6(C)
because of NAI’s failure to pay any required Supplemental Payment.




     (3)
NAI’s Extended Remarketing Right is not terminated pursuant to subparagraph 6(C)
because of NAI’s failure to pay any required

97-10 Prepayment.



     (4) NAI must have provided a notice to BNPPLC (a “Notice of Sale”) setting forth (i)
the date proposed by NAI as the Final Sale Date (the “Proposed Sale Date”), which must be no
sooner than thirty days after BNPPLC’s receipt of the Notice of Sale and no later than the
last Business Day of the Extended Remarketing Period, (ii) the full legal name of the
Applicable Purchaser and such other information as is needed to prepare the Sale Closing
Documents, and (iii) the cash price that will be tendered to BNPPLC for the Property (the
“Committed Price”).




     (5) The Committed Price must be no less than the Must Sell Price, computed as of the
Proposed Sale Date. Also, if NAI has notified BNPPLC of NAI’s Target Price, the Committed
Price must be no less than NAI’s Target Price.



Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 14




 









 





     (D) Deemed Sale On the Second Anniversary of the Designated Sale Date. If no date
prior to the second anniversary of the Designated Sale Date qualifies as the Final Sale Date, then
on second anniversary of the Designated Sale Date BNPPLC will, for purposes of the next
subparagraph, be deemed to have sold the Property (a “Deemed Sale”) to an Applicable Purchaser at a
Qualified Sale for a net cash price equal to its Fair Market Value.



     (E) NAI’s Right to Share in Sales Proceeds Received By BNPPLC From any Qualified Sale.
BNPPLC must apply the cash proceeds received by BNPPLC from any Qualified Sale (regardless of
whether the sale is arranged by NAI as provided in subparagraph 3(C) or by BNPPLC itself), or
deemed to be received in connection with any Deemed Sale, in the following order of priority:




     (1) first, to pay or reimburse to BNPPLC BNPPLC’s Actual Out of Pocket Costs incurred
in connection with the Qualified Sale;




     (2) second, to pay or reimburse to BNPPLC the Local Impositions, insurance premiums and
other Losses suffered or incurred by BNPPLC with respect to the ownership, operation or
maintenance of the Property after the Designated Sale Date, together with interest on such
Local Impositions, insurance premiums and other Losses computed at the Default Rate from the
date paid or incurred to the date reimbursed from sales proceeds;




     (3) third, to pay to BNPPLC an amount equal to the difference, if any, computed by
subtracting (i) the aggregate payments, if any, previously paid by NAI to BNPPLC as a
Supplemental Payment or as a 97-10/Prepayment, from (ii) the Adjusted Lease Balance;




     (4) fourth, to reimburse NAI for the aggregate payments, if any, previously
made by NAI to BNPPLC as a Supplemental Payment or as 97-10/Prepayments;




     (5) fifth, to pay to BNPPLC an amount that, when added to all payments or
reimbursements to BNPPLC described in the preceding clauses (1), (2) and (3), will equal the
Make Whole Amount;




     (6) sixth, to pay to BNPPLC any other amounts then due from NAI to BNPPLC under any of
the Operative Documents; and




     (7) last, if any such cash proceeds exceed all the payments and reimbursements that are
required or may be required as described in the preceding clauses of this subparagraph,
BNPPLC may retain the excess.



Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 15




 









 




If, however, BNPPLC completes any sale and conveyance of the Property after the Extended
Remarketing Period expires or is terminated, BNPPLC will not be required by this subparagraph to
share any proceeds of the sale or conveyance with NAI or any other party claiming through or under
NAI.



4 Transfers By BNPPLC After the Designated Sale Date.




     (A) BNPPLC’s Right to Sell. At any time more than thirty days after the Designated
Sale Date, if the Property has not already been sold and conveyed by BNPPLC pursuant to Paragraph 2
or Paragraph 3, BNPPLC will have the right to sell the Property or offer the Property for sale to
any third party on any terms believed to be appropriate by BNPPLC in its sole good faith business
judgment.



     (B) Survival of NAI’s Rights and the Supplemental Payment Obligation. If the Property
is not sold on the Designated Sale Date, and if BNPPLC completes a sale or other transfer of the
Property after the Designated Sale Date, other than a Qualified Sale, the Supplemental Payment
Obligation will survive in favor of BNPPLC’s successors and assigns with respect to the Property,
and BNPPLC’s successors and assigns will take the Property subject to NAI’s rights under
Paragraph 3, all on the same terms and conditions as would have applied to BNPPLC itself if BNPPLC
had not transferred or sold the Property. Without limiting the foregoing, any purchaser that
acquires the Property from BNPPLC during the Extended Remarketing Period, other than at a Qualified
Sale, will be obligated to distribute proceeds of a subsequent Qualified Sale of the Property as
described in the subparagraph 3(E) in the same manner and to the same extent that BNPPLC itself
would have been obligated if not for the sale by BNPPLC to the purchaser.



     (C) Easements and Other Transfers in the Ordinary Course of Business. No
“Permitted Transfer” described in clause (5) (the last clause) of the definition thereof in
the
Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement will constitute a Qualified Sale if it covers less
than all or substantially all of BNPPLC’s then existing interests in the Property. Any such
Permitted Transfer of less than all or substantially all of BNPPLC’s then existing interests in the
Property will not be prohibited by this Agreement during the Extended Remarketing Period or
otherwise; provided, however, any such Permitted Transfer made before the end of one hundred eighty
days after the Designated Sale Date, or made to an Affiliate of BNPPLC before the end of the
Extended Remarketing Period, or otherwise not made in the ordinary course of business, will be made
subject to NAI’s rights under Paragraph 3. Thus, for example, if the Property is not sold by BNPPLC
to an Applicable Purchaser on the Designated Sale Date, then at any time more than one hundred
eighty days after the Designated Sale Date BNPPLC may in the ordinary course of business convey a
utility easement or a lease of space in the Improvements to a Person not an Affiliate of BNPPLC
free from NAI’s rights under Paragraph 3, although following such conveyance of the lesser estate,
NAI’s rights under Paragraph 3 will continue during the Extended



Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 16




 









 




Remarketing Period as to BNPPLC’s
remaining interest in the Land and the Improvements.



5 Terms of Conveyance Upon Purchase.




     (A) Tender of Sale Closing Documents. As necessary to consummate any sale of the
Property to NAI or an Applicable Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, BNPPLC must, subject to any
postponement permitted by subparagraph 2(B), promptly after the tender of the purchase price and
any other payments to BNPPLC required pursuant to Paragraph 2 or Paragraph 3, as applicable, convey
the Property to NAI or the Applicable Purchaser, as the case may be, by BNPPLC’s execution,
acknowledgment (where appropriate) and delivery of the Sale Closing Documents. Such conveyance by
BNPPLC will be subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and any other encumbrances that do not
constitute Liens Removable by BNPPLC, and such conveyance will not include the rights of BNPPLC or
other Interested Parties under the indemnities provided in the Operative Documents, including
rights to any payments then due from NAI under the indemnities or that may become due thereafter
because of any Loss incurred by BNPPLC or another Interested Party resulting in whole or in part
from events or circumstances occurring or alleged to have occurred before such conveyance. The
costs, both foreseen and unforeseen, of any purchase by NAI or an Applicable Purchaser will be the
responsibility of the purchaser to the extent (if any) not included in any Break Even Price or Make
Whole Amount actually paid to BNPPLC. If for any reason BNPPLC fails to tender the Sale Closing
Documents as required by this Paragraph 5(A), BNPPLC will have the right and obligation to cure
such failure at any time before thirty days after receipt of a demand for such cure from NAI.
Prior to the end of such cure period, NAI may initiate appropriate legal action to specifically
enforce BNPPLC’s obligation to deliver the Sale Closing Documents or to foreclose NAI’s liens or
security interests against the Property which secure such obligation, but if BNPPLC does cure
within such thirty day period, BNPPLC will not be liable for monetary damages because of its prior
failure to deliver the Sale Closing Documents.



     (B) Delivery of Escrowed Proceeds. BNPPLC may deliver any Escrowed Proceeds
constituting Property directly to NAI or to any Applicable Purchaser purchasing the Property
pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any prior actual or attempted conveyance or assignment
by NAI, voluntary or otherwise, of any right to receive the same; BNPPLC will not be responsible
for the proper distribution or application by NAI or any Applicable Purchaser of any such Escrowed
Proceeds; and any such payment of Escrowed Proceeds to NAI or an Applicable Purchaser will
discharge any obligation of BNPPLC to deliver the same to all Persons claiming an interest therein.


6 Survival and Termination of the Rights and Obligations of NAI and BNPPLC.




     (A) Status of this Agreement Generally. Except as expressly provided in the next



Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 17




 









 







subparagraph or other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement will not terminate; nor
will NAI have any right to terminate this Agreement; nor will NAI be entitled to any reduction (by
setoff or otherwise) of the Break Even Price, the Make Whole Amount or any payment required under
this Agreement; nor will any of the obligations of NAI to BNPPLC under Paragraph 2 or Paragraph 3
be excused by reason of (i) any damage to or the destruction of all or any part of the Property
from whatever cause, (ii) the taking of the Property or any portion thereof by eminent domain or
otherwise for any reason, (iii) the prohibition, limitation or restriction of NAI’s use or
development of all or any portion of the Property or any interference with such use by governmental
action or otherwise, (iv) any eviction of NAI or of anyone claiming through or under NAI, (v) any
default on the part of BNPPLC under this Agreement or any other Operative Document or any other
agreement to which BNPPLC and NAI are parties, (vi) the inadequacy in any way whatsoever of the
design, construction, assembly or installation of any improvements, fixtures or tangible personal
property included in the Property (it being understood that BNPPLC has not made, does not make and
will not make any representation express or implied as to the adequacy thereof), (vii) any latent
or other defect in the Property or any change in the condition thereof or the existence with
respect to the Property of any violations of Applicable Laws, or (viii) NAI’s prior acquisition or
ownership of any interest in the Property, or (ix) any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar
to the foregoing, any existing or future law to the contrary notwithstanding. It is the intention
of the parties hereto that the obligations of NAI under this Agreement (including the obligation to
make any Supplemental Payment as provided in Paragraph 2) be separate from and independent of
BNPPLC’s obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between BNPPLC and NAI; however,
nothing in this subparagraph will be construed as a waiver by NAI of any right NAI may have at law
or in equity to the following remedies, whether because of BNPPLC’s failure to remove a Lien
Removable by BNPPLC or because of any other default by BNPPLC under this Agreement: (A) the
recovery of monetary damages, (B) injunctive relief in case of the violation, or attempted or
threatened violation, by
BNPPLC of any of the express covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Agreement
which are binding upon BNPPLC, or (C) a decree compelling performance by BNPPLC of any of the
express covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Agreement which are binding upon
BNPPLC.




     (B) Election by NAI to Terminate the Supplemental Payment Obligation Prior to the
Completion Date. By delivery of a notice to BNPPLC in the form attached as Exhibit F,
NAI may terminate its Supplemental Payment Obligation, but only prior to the Completion Date and
only if at the time of such exercise (1) NAI has given (and not rescinded) a Notice of NAI’s Intent
to Terminate as provided in the Construction Agreement, or (2) BNPPLC has given any FOCB Notice as
provided in the Construction Agreement. (If for any reason BNPPLC does not receive a notice
terminating the Supplemental Payment Obligation as described in the preceding sentence prior to the
Completion Date, then without any notice or other action by the parties to this Agreement, NAI will
cease to have any right to terminate the Supplemental Payment Obligation.) If NAI does send a
notice to BNPPLC in the form attached as Exhibit F, such notice will (as



Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 18




 









 




provided therein) constitute an irrevocable and absolute waiver by NAI of NAI’s rights to purchase the Property or to
cause any of its Affiliates to purchase the Property pursuant to this Agreement. However, no such
notice will terminate BNPPLC’s right to exercise the Put Option, which BNPPLC may exercise if NAI
fails to make a 97-10/Permitted Prepayment required by the Construction Agreement.




     (C) Automatic Termination of NAI’s Rights. If NAI fails to pay the full amount of any
Supplemental Payment required by subparagraph 2(A)(3) on the Designated Sale Date, then the
Purchase Option, NAI’s Initial Remarketing Rights, NAI’s Extended Remarketing Right and all other
rights of NAI under this Agreement, other than its rights under subparagraph 3(A), will terminate
automatically. If, however, prior to the Designated Sale Date NAI effectively terminates the
Supplemental Payment Obligation pursuant to subparagraph 6(B) by the delivery of a notice to BNPPLC
in the form attached as Exhibit F, so that NAI is excused from the obligation to make any
Supplemental Payment pursuant to subparagraph 2(A)(3), then NAI’s Extended Remarketing Right will
not terminate automatically pursuant to this subparagraph 6(C), but rather will survive except to
the extent waived by such notice. No termination of NAI’s rights as described in this subparagraph
will limit BNPPLC’s other remedies, including its right to sue NAI for any 97-10/Prepayments,
pursuant to any of the Operative Documents or (following a 97-1/Default (100%)) its right to
exercise the Put Option.



     (D) Payment Only to BNPPLC. All amounts payable under this Agreement by NAI and, if
applicable, by an Applicable Purchaser must be paid directly to BNPPLC. If paid to other parties,
such payments will not be effective for purposes of this Agreement.



     (E) Preferences and Voidable Transfers. If any payment to BNPPLC by an Applicable
Purchaser is held to constitute a preference or a voidable transfer under Applicable Laws, or
must for any other reason be refunded by BNPPLC to the Applicable Purchaser or to another Person,
and if such payment to BNPPLC reduced or had the effect of reducing a payment required of NAI by
this Agreement (e.g., the Supplemental Payment) or increased or had the effect of increasing any
sale proceeds paid over to NAI pursuant to subparagraph 2(A)(2)(b) or pursuant to
subparagraph 3(E), then NAI must pay to BNPPLC upon demand an amount equal to the reduction of the
payment required of NAI or to the increase of the excess sale proceeds paid to NAI, as applicable,
and this Agreement will continue to be effective or will be reinstated as necessary to permit
BNPPLC to enforce its right to collect such amount from NAI.



     (F) Remedies Under the Other Operative Documents. No repossession of or
re-entering upon the Property or exercise of any other remedies available to BNPPLC under the other
Operative Documents will terminate NAI’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, all of which
will survive BNPPLC’s exercise of remedies under the other Operative Documents. NAI acknowledges
that the consideration for this Agreement is separate from and independent of the consideration for
the Construction Agreement, the Lease, the Closing Certificate and other



Amended
and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 19




 









 







agreements executed by the
parties, and NAI’s obligations under this Agreement will not be affected or impaired by any event
or circumstance that would excuse NAI from performance of its obligations under such other
Operative Documents.




7 Certain Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
BNPPLC is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy BNPPLC has with respect to the
Property, and each and every right and remedy of BNPPLC will be cumulative and in addition to any
other right or remedy given to it under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing in its favor at
law or in equity. In addition to other remedies available under this Agreement, either party may
obtain a decree compelling specific performance of any of the other party’s agreements hereunder.



8 Attorneys’ Fees and Legal Expenses. If BNPPLC commences any legal action or other
proceeding because of any breach of this Agreement by NAI, BNPPLC may recover all Attorneys’ Fees
incurred by it in connection therewith from NAI, whether or not such controversy, claim or dispute
is prosecuted to a final judgment. Any Attorneys’ Fees incurred by BNPPLC in enforcing a judgment
in its favor under this Agreement will be recoverable separately from such judgment, and the
obligation for such Attorneys’ Fees is intended to be severable from other provisions of this
Agreement and not to be merged into any such judgment.



9 Successors and Assigns. The terms, provisions, covenants and conditions hereof will be
binding upon NAI and BNPPLC and their respective permitted successors and assigns and will inure to
the benefit of NAI and BNPPLC and all permitted transferees, mortgagees, successors and assignees
of NAI and BNPPLC with respect to the Property; except that (A) the
rights of BNPPLC hereunder will not pass to NAI or any Applicable Purchaser or any subsequent owner
claiming through NAI or an Applicable Purchaser, (B) BNPPLC will not assign this Agreement or any
rights hereunder except pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, and (C) NAI will not assign this
Agreement or any rights hereunder without the prior written consent of BNPPLC.



10 Amendment and Restatement of Prior Purchase Agreement. This Agreement amends, restates
and replaces entirely the Prior Purchase Agreement. Without limiting the rights and obligations of
NAI under this Agreement, NAI acknowledges that any and all rights or interest of NAI in and to the
Land or other Property under the Prior Purchase Agreement are now made subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement; and all rights and interests of BNPPLC in and to the Land or other
Property under the Prior Purchase Agreement are renewed and extended (rather than terminated) by
this Agreement.

Exhibit B




Valuation Procedures




     This Exhibit explains the procedures to be used to determine Fair Market Value of the Property
if such a determination is required by this Agreement. In such event, either party may invoke the
procedures set out herein prior to the date the determination will be needed so as to minimize any
postponement of any payment, the amount of which depends upon Fair Market Value. In the event such
a payment becomes due before the required determination of Fair Market Value is complete, such
payment will be postponed until the determination is complete. But in that event, when the
required determination is complete, the payment will be made together with interest thereon,
computed at a rate equal to ABR, accruing over the period the payment was postponed.



     If any determination of Fair Market Value is required, NAI and BNPPLC will attempt in good
faith to reach a written agreement upon the Fair Market Value without unnecessary delay, and either
party may propose such an agreement to the other. If, however, for any reason whatsoever, they do
not execute such an agreement within seven days after the first such proposed agreement is offered
by one party to the other, then the determination will be made by independent appraisers in
accordance with the following procedures:


1. Definitions and Assumptions. For purposes of the determination, Fair Market Value will
be defined as follows, and all appraisers or others involved in the determination will be
instructed to use the following definition:





     “Fair Market Value” means the most probable net cash price, as of a specified
date, for which the Property should sell after reasonable exposure in a competitive
market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each
acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self-interest, and assuming that neither is
under undue duress.


In addition, the appraisers or others making the determination will be instructed to assume that
ordinary and customary brokerage fees, title insurance costs and other sales expenses will be
incurred and deducted in the calculation of such net cash price. Such appraisers or others making
the determination will also be instructed to assume that the value of the Property (or applicable
portion thereof) is neither enhanced nor reduced by any lease to another tenant that BNPPLC may
have executed subsequent to the termination or expiration of the Lease (a “Replacement Lease”).
In other words, rather than determine value in light of actual rents generated or to be generated
by any such Replacement Lease, the Property (or applicable portion thereof) will be valued in light
of the most probable rent that it should bring in a competitive and open market (in this section, a
“Fair Market Rental”), taking into account:





     (i) the fact that the Ground Lease exists to permit the
continued use and enjoyment of the Property during the term of the



 









 







Ground Lease1; and




     (ii) the actual physical condition of the Property2; and




     (iii) that a reasonable period of time may be required to market the
Property (or applicable portion thereof) for lease and make it ready for use
or occupancy before it is leased at a Fair Market Rental.


2. Initial Selection of Appraisers; Appraiser’s Agreement as to Value. After having failed
to reach a written agreement upon Fair Market Value as described in the second paragraph of this
Exhibit, either party may deliver a notice to the other demanding the appointment of appraisers
(the “First Appraisal Notice”) pursuant to this Exhibit. In such event:




     (a) Within fifteen days after the First Appraisal Notice is delivered, NAI and BNPPLC must
each appoint an independent property appraiser who has experience appraising commercial properties
in North Carolina and notify the other party of such appointment, including the name of the
appointed appraiser (a “Notice of Appointment”).



     (b) If the appraiser appointed by NAI and the appraiser appointed by BNPPLC agree in writing
upon the Fair Market Value (an “Appraiser’s Agreement As To Value”), such agreement will be binding
upon NAI and BNPPLC. Both NAI and BNPPLC will instruct their respective appraisers to attempt in
good faith to quickly reach an Appraiser’s Agreement As To Value. Neither appraiser will be
required to produce a formal appraisal prior to reaching an Appraiser’s Agreement As To Value.


3. Selection of a Third Appraiser. If the two appraisers fail to deliver an
Appraiser’s Agreement As to Value within thirty days following the later of the dates upon which
NAI or BNPPLC delivers its Notice of Appointment, then either party (NAI or BNPPLC) may deliver
another notice to the other (a “Third Appraisal Notice”), demanding that the two appraisers appoint
a third independent property appraiser to help with the determination of Fair Market Value.
Immediately after the Third Appraisal Notice is delivered, each of the first two appraisers






 




			
	1	 	But for the Ground Lease, the Improvements could not
be used and maintained in place. Thus, the parties believe that, but for the
Ground Lease, the Improvements would be worth much less. However, it is
understood that Property does not include the fee estate in the Land, and the
continued use of the Improvements will necessitate the payment of rents as
required by the Ground Lease and compliance with the other terms and conditions
thereof. Accordingly, the value of the Land itself will not be included in the
Fair Market Value of the Property.
	 
	2	 	If, however, the use of the Property by BNPPLC or any
tenant under any Replacement Lease after NAI vacated the Property has resulted
in excess wear and tear, such excess wear and tear will be assumed not to have
occurred for purposes of determining Fair Market Value.





Exhibit B to Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 2




 









 




must
act promptly, reasonably and in good faith to try to reach agreement upon the third appraiser. If,
however, the two appraisers fail to reach agreement upon a third appraiser within ten days after
the Third Appraisal Notice is delivered:




     (a) NAI and BNPPLC will each cause its respective appraiser to deliver, no later than fifteen
days after the delivery of the Third Appraisal Notice, an unqualified written promise addressed to
both of NAI and BNPPLC: (i) to act promptly, reasonably and in good faith in trying to reach agree
upon the third appraiser, and (ii) to propose and consider proposals of persons as the third
appraiser on the basis of objectivity and competence, not on the basis of such persons’
relationships with the other appraisers or with NAI or BNPPLC, and not on the basis of preferences
expressed by NAI or BNPPLC.



     (b) If, despite the delivery of the promises described in the preceding subsection, the two
appraisers fail to reach agreement upon a third appraiser within thirty days after the Third
Appraisal Notice is delivered, then each of the first two appraisers must immediately submit its
top choice for the third appraiser to the then highest ranking officer of the North Carolina Bar
Association who will agree to help and who has no attorney/client or other significant relationship
to either NAI or BNPPLC. Such officer will have complete discretion to select the most objective
and competent third appraiser from between the choice of each of the first two appraisers, and will
do so within ten days after such choices are submitted to him.


4. Resolution of Issues by the Third Appraiser. If a third appraiser is selected under the
procedure set out above:




     (a) No later than thirty days after a third appraiser is selected, each of the first two
appraisers must submit (and NAI and BNPPLC will each cause its appointed appraiser to submit) his
best estimate of Fair Market Value, together with a written report supporting such estimate. (Such
report need not be in the form of a formal appraisal, and may contain any qualifications the
submitting appraiser deems necessary under the circumstances. Any such qualifications, however,
may be considered by the third appraiser for purposes of the selection required by the next
subsection.)



     (b) After receipt of the two estimates required by the preceding subsection, and no later than
forty-five days after the third appraiser is selected, he must (i) choose one or the other of the
two estimates of Fair Market Value submitted by the first two appraisers as being the more accurate
in his opinion, and (ii) notify NAI and BNPPLC of which estimate he chose. The third appraiser
will not be asked or allowed to specify an amount as Fair Market Value that is different than an
estimate provided by one of the other two appraisers (either by averaging the two estimates or
otherwise). The estimate of Fair Market Value thus chosen by the third appraiser as being the more
accurate will be binding upon NAI and BNPPLC.


5. Criteria For Selecting Appraisers; Cost of Appraisals. All appraisers selected for the




Exhibit B to Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 3




 









 




appraisal process set out in this Exhibit will be disinterested, reputable, qualified
appraisers with the designation of MAI or equivalent and with at least five years experience in
appraising commercial properties comparable to the Property. NAI and BNPPLC will each bear the
expense of the appraiser appointed by it, and the expense of the third appraiser and of any officer
of the North Carolina Bar Association who participates in the appraisal process described above
will be shared equally by NAI and BNPPLC.



6. Time is of the Essence; Defaults.




     (a) All time periods and deadlines specified in this Exhibit are of the essence.



     (b) Each party must cause the appraiser appointed by it (as set forth in Section 2(a)) to
comply in a timely manner with the requirements of this Exhibit applicable to such appraiser.
Accordingly, if an appraiser appointed by one of the parties as provided in Section 2(a) fails to
comply in a timely manner with any provision of this Exhibit, such failure will be considered a
default by the party who appointed such appraiser.



     (c) Any breach of or default under this Exhibit by either party will be construed as a breach
of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached.



     (d) Any such breach or default by NAI will constitute a 97-1/Default (100%); provided,
however:




     (1) Before characterizing any such breach or default as a 97-1/Default (100%), BNPPLC
must first notify NAI of the breach or default and give NAI the opportunity, during the five
days after delivery of such notice, to fully rectify the breach or default.




     (2) Any breach or default by NAI under this Exhibit will be deemed rectified if, within
such five day period, NAI offers BNPPLC an unqualified written agreement that all
determinations of Fair Market Value required by this Agreement will, if made by the
appraiser appointed by BNPPLC as hereinabove provided, be binding upon BNPPLC and NAI. (It
is understood that following the delivery of any such agreement by NAI, no further input
from NAI’s appraiser or from any official of the North Carolina bar association or from a
third appraiser will be required for any required determination of Fair Market Value.)



Exhibit B to Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 4




 









 





Exhibit C




Requirements Re: Forms to Accomplish Assignment and Conveyance



The form of the documents to be used to accomplish any conveyance of BNPPLC’s interest in the
Improvements and other Property pursuant to this Agreement will depend upon whether the conveyance
is to NAI or an Applicable Purchaser and, in the case of an conveyance by NAI itself, upon whether
NAI elects to take an assignment of the Ground Lease or to terminate the Ground Lease.



If NAI is itself acquiring BNPPLC’s interest in the Property, the conveyance of such interest will
be accomplished either by (A) the execution of an Agreement Concerning Ground Lease in the form
attached as Exhibit C-1, which (among other things) will effectively terminate the Ground
Lease with the result that BNPPLC’s interest in all Improvements will revert to NAI by operation of
law, or (B) BNPPLC’s execution of assignments in the forms attached as Exhibit C-2 and
Exhibit C-3 and NAI’s execution of an Acknowledgment of Disclaimer of Representations and
Warranties in the form attached as Exhibit C-4. NAI may choose between the Agreement
Concerning Ground Lease or the alternative forms attached as Exhibits C-2, C-3 and
C-4; however, if NAI fails to notify BNPPLC at least fifteen days prior to the Designated
Sale Date that NAI chooses to receive the assignments in the forms attached as Exhibit C-2
and Exhibit C-3, BNPPLC may assume that NAI has elected instead to have BNPPLC execute the
Agreement Concerning Ground Lease in the form attached as Exhibit C-1. If NAI does choose
to receive the assignments in the forms attached as Exhibit C-2 and Exhibit C-3,
NAI must execute and deliver to BNPPLC the Acknowledgment of Disclaimer of Representations and
Warranties in the form attached as Exhibit C-4.



If an Applicable Purchaser is acquiring BNPPLC’s interest in the Improvements and other Property,
such interest will be conveyed by BNPPLC’s execution and delivery of assignments in the forms
attached as Exhibit C-2 and Exhibit C-3, and the Applicable Purchaser must execute
and deliver to BNPPLC an Acknowledgment of Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties in the form
attached as Exhibit C-4.

corporation, and (2) that certain Amended and Restated Lease Agreement dated as of
November 29, 2007 (the “Lease”) between Assignor, as landlord, and Network Appliance, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, as tenant. (Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this document
are intended to have the meanings assigned to them in the Amended and Restated Common Definitions
and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) incorporated by reference into both the Purchase
Agreement and Lease.)



     As contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Assignor hereby sells, transfers and assigns unto
[NAI or the Applicable Purchaser], a                      (“Assignee”), all of Assignor’s right, title and
interest in and to the following property, if any, to the extent such property is assignable:




	 	(a)	 	the Lease;
	 
	 	(b)	 	any pending or future award made because of any condemnation affecting the
Property or because of any conveyance to be made in lieu thereof, and any unpaid award
for damage to the Property and any unpaid proceeds of insurance or claim or cause of
action for damage, loss or injury to the Property; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	all other personal or intangible property included within the definition of
“Property” as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to any of
the following transferred to Assignor by the tenant pursuant to Paragraph 6 of
the Lease or otherwise acquired by Assignor, at the time of the execution and delivery
of the Lease and Purchase Agreement or thereafter, by reason of Assignor’s status as
the owner of any interest in the Property: (1) any goods, equipment, furnishings,
furniture, chattels and tangible personal property of whatever nature that are located
on the Property and all renewals or replacements of or substitutions for any of the
foregoing; (ii) the rights of Assignor, existing at the time of the execution of the
Lease and Purchase Agreement or thereafter arising, under Permitted Encumbrances; and
(iii) any general intangibles, other permits, licenses, franchises, certificates, and
other rights and privileges related to the Property that Assignee would have acquired
if Assignee had itself acquired the interest of Assignor in and to the Property instead
of Assignor.




Provided, however, excluded from this conveyance and reserved to Assignor are any rights or
privileges of Assignor under the following: (1) the indemnities set forth in the Construction
Agreement, the Lease and the Ground Lease, whether such rights are presently known or
unknown, including rights of the Assignor to be indemnified against environmental claims of




 









 







third
parties as provided in the Construction Agreement and the Lease which may not presently be known,
all of which indemnities will survive the deliver of this Bill of Sale and Assignment and other
documents required by the Purchase Agreement, (2) provisions in the Lease that establish the right
of Assignor to recover any accrued unpaid rent under the Lease which may be outstanding as of the
date hereof, (3) agreements between Assignor and Assignor’s Parent or any Participant, or (4) any
other instrument being delivered to Assignor contemporaneously herewith pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement.[Drafting Note: The following sentence will be included unless the Property is

a Pre-completion Force Majeure Event, and (ii) any right to receive future payments of any such
condemnation or insurance proceeds.]

to the property assigned herein against the just and lawful claims and demands of any person
claiming under or through a Lien Removable by Assignor, but not otherwise.



     Assignee hereby assumes and agrees to keep, perform and fulfill Assignor’s obligations, if
any, relating to any permits or contracts (including the Lease), under which Assignor has rights
being assigned herein.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF DISCLAIMER

     THIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF DISCLAIMER OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES (this “Certificate”) is
made as of                                         ,                     , by [NAI or the Applicable Purchaser], a
                                        
(“Assignee”).



     Contemporaneously with the execution of this Certificate, BNP Paribas Leasing Corporation
(“Assignor”), a Delaware corporation, is executing and delivering to Assignee (1) an Assignment of
Ground Lease and Improvements, and (2) a Bill of Sale and Assignment (the foregoing documents and
any other documents to be executed in connection therewith are herein called the “Conveyancing
Documents” and any of the properties, rights or other matters assigned, transferred or conveyed
pursuant thereto are herein collectively called the “Subject Property”).



     Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Conveyancing Documents to the contrary,
Assignee acknowledges that Assignor makes no representations or warranties of any nature or kind,
whether statutory, express or implied, with respect to environmental matters or the physical
condition of the Subject Property, and Assignee, by acceptance of the Conveyancing Documents,
accepts the Subject Property “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” “WITH
ALL FAULTS” and without any such representation or warranty by Grantor as to
environmental matters, the physical condition of the Subject Property, compliance with subdivision
or platting requirements or construction of any improvements. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Assignee hereby further acknowledges and agrees that warranties of merchantability
and fitness for a particular purpose are excluded from the transaction contemplated by the
Conveyancing Documents, as are any warranties arising from a course of dealing or usage of trade.
Assignee hereby assumes all risk and liability (and agrees that Assignor will not be liable for any
special, direct, indirect, consequential, or other damages) resulting or arising from or relating
to the ownership, use, condition, location, maintenance, repair, or operation of the Subject
Property, except for damages proximately caused by (and attributed by any applicable principles of
comparative fault to) the Established Misconduct of Assignor. As used in the preceding sentence,
“Established Misconduct” is intended to have, and be limited to, the meaning given to it in the
Amended and Restated Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) incorporated by
reference into the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) dated as of
November 29, 2007 between Assignor and Network Appliance, Inc., pursuant to which Amended and
Restated Purchase Agreement Assignor is delivering the Conveyancing Documents.

to rely and is relying on this Certificate.

Exhibit F




Notice of Election to Terminate the Supplemental Payment Obligation

and Irrevocable Release and Waiver of the Right to Purchase




[Date]




BNP Paribas Leasing Corporation

12201 Merit Drive, Suite 860

Dallas, Texas 75251

Attention: Lloyd G. Cox, Managing Director

Telecopy: (972) 788-9140




     Re: Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (RTP Data Center) dated as of November 29, 2007
(the “Purchase Agreement”), between Network Appliance, Inc. (“NAI”), a Delaware corporation, and
BNP Paribas Leasing Corporation (“BNPPLC”), a Delaware corporation



Gentlemen:




     Capitalized terms used in this letter are intended to have the meanings assigned to them in
the Purchase Agreement referenced above. This letter will constitute a notice given pursuant to
subparagraph 6(B) of the Purchase Agreement. As provided in that subparagraph, NAI irrevocably
elects to terminate the Supplemental Payment Obligation effective immediately, subject only to the
conditions described below. In addition, NAI irrevocably waives and releases its rights to
purchase or cause an Affiliate of NAI to purchase the Property granted to it by the Purchase
Agreement. Because of (but without limiting) such waiver and release, the Purchase Option is
terminated and so are all rights of NAI under subparagraphs 2(A) and 3(A) of the Purchase
Agreement.



     NAI acknowledges that this notice will not be effective to terminate the Supplemental Payment
Obligation if it is not received by BNPPLC prior to the Completion Date.



     NAI also acknowledges that even if no prior 97-10/Meltdown Event has occurred, the delivery of
this notice is in and of itself a 
97-10/Meltdown Event under and as defined in the Construction
Agreement. Therefore, after receipt of this notice BNPPLC will be entitled to demand and receive a
97-10/Prepayment, if BNPPLC has not already done so, on and subject to the terms and conditions of
Paragraph 9 of the Construction Agreement. Further, if NAI fails to make a 97-10/Permitted
Prepayment required by the Construction Agreement, BNPPLC may exercise the Put Option as provided
in subparagraph 3(B) of the Purchase Agreement.



     NAI also acknowledges that its right to terminate the Supplemental Payment Obligation
is subject to the condition precedent that: (1) NAI must have given (and not rescinded) a Notice
of NAI’s Intent to Terminate as provided in the Construction Agreement, or (2) BNPPLC must



 









 







have given any FOCB Notice as provided in the Construction Agreement. Accordingly, if neither of
the notices described in the preceding sentence have been given, the Supplemental Payment
Obligation will not terminate by reason of this notice.



     Finally, NAI acknowledges that because the delivery of this notice constitutes a
97-10/Meltdown Event, BNPPLC will have the right at any time for any reason or no reason to
terminate the Lease by notice to NAI.
